Meanwhile, a loud alert beeped from Jeremy's laptop back on XANA's Earth. An image of a red tower popped up on screen with the label "Coordinates: Null". Jeremy saw it and immediately left Kadic Academy to run an interdimensional scan from the Lyoko supercomputer. On his way there, he called the other Warriors to warn them of the attack.
Ulrich and Yumi didn't answer. They were too preoccupied with sparring each other in their shared martial arts class to even notice the phone ring. Odd, Aelita, and William arrived at the 'abandoned' factory a few minutes later and descended the elevator to the control room. Jeremy wasted no time addressing the others. "I've located the dimension XANA's attacking and-"
Odd cut Jeremy off with a loud remark. "What! He's attacking a parallel universe again?! It's like he forgot about us or something."
William then interjected "Great. Another attack we can't directly stop. Is there anything we can actually do this time or are we just stuck here watching XANA cause problems outside our reach?"
Jeremy gave Odd an annoyed look before returning his gaze to the supercomputer screen. Replying to both of them, he said "I'd rather he forget about us, Odd. But! I've finally finished a program that'll allow us to traverse other dimensions. All that's left to do is run a field test and now's as good as ever."
Odd reacted cheerfully "Ok! So what do we gotta do Einstein?"
Jeremy answered "Board the Skidbladnir. I'll launch the Multiverse Transfer Protocol from there."
Odd replied "Alright, see ya on the other side!"
William grinned "Finally I can get some payback for the time XANA took from me."
Aelita remarked "Just don't get Xanafied again. We barely saved you last time."
William said "I know, Aelita."
With that out of the way, Odd, Aelita, and William reentered the elevator and took it a floor down. They entered one of each of the three scanners and watched as the doors closed. Jeremy's voice rang through the factory intercoms down there. "Transfer Odd. Transfer Aelita. Transfer William. Scanner Odd. Scanner Aelita. Scanner William. Virtualization!" In a flash of light, the three Lyoko Warriors were transformed into data and pixelized into their Lyoko avatars in Sector 5.

Back in Titans Tower, the building began to creak and groan as if under strain. XANA had not immediately caused visible damage but they were attempting to use electromagnetism to pull apart the support structures in the ceiling and floors. If left unchecked long enough, cracks in softer materials like wood or concrete would develop, while metal would gradually bend and warp. The electromagnetic field permeating the building would likely feel uncomfortable on Cyborg's mechanical parts even though he was not its direct target.
